Profile Information

My personal story:

For over 35 years, I have been engaged in activities promoting peace and reconciliation between Palestine and Israel. I am currently a board member of The Israel Palestine Project, and co-editor of TIPP's first initiative, A Common Historical Narrative. In my "other life", I am an architect, urban designer, and town planner.

Why I want peace:

In my work as a town planner, I am dedicated to the proposition that cities hold the possbility to fullfll humanity's highest aspirations for global stewardship, abundance, community, and creative self-expression. This vision is founded on the rock of peace. Without peace, nothing else is possible.
